PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TARTISAN NICKEL CORP. INTERSECTS 0.86%NI, 0.18% CU OVER 2.8
METRES AND 0.47%NI, 0.18% CU OVER 6.0 METRES AT THE
KENBRIDGE NICKEL PROJECT, NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO.
Toronto, Canada, March 8 , 2022 – Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE:TN; OTC QX:TTSRF;
FSE:8TA) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company” ) is pleased to provide additional diamond drill core
assay results and an update on Tartisan Nickel Corps. 100% owned Kenbridge Nickel Project ,
located in the Kenora Mining District, Ontario.
Hole KB21 -206 intersected two nickel -copper zones at a drill depth of 975 metres and 996
metres. The two zones are interpreted to represent the downdip extension of two horizons (Zone
A and Zone B) intersected in holes KB21 -198, KB21-200, KB21-202 and KB21-204. In KB21-
206 Zone A returned 2.8 metres of 0.86% Ni and 0.18% Cu including a higher-grade section
of 1.5 metres of 1.30% Ni and 0.28% Cu. In the same hole Zone B returned 6 metres of
0.47% Ni and 0. 18% Cu including 2.5 metres of 0.74% Ni and 0.19% Cu. Hole 20 6 is
located approximately 150m below the deepest drill hole intersection completed in the 1950’s
(Drill hole K2011 - 4.25% Ni over 3m ) and is 125 metres north of hole KB21 -204 (see press
release November 29, 2021 , SEDAR). Hole KB21 -204 Zone A returned 1.05 metres of 3.18%
Ni and 0. 19% Cu including a higher-grade section of 0.35 metres of 7.73% Ni and 0.16%
Cu. In the same hole Zone B returned 7.8 metres of 0. 85% Ni and 0. 54% Cu including 4.0
metres of 1.15% Ni and 0.71% Cu. (see Figures 2 and 3) . Hole KB21 -205 has also been
completed with assays pending.
All drill holes completed at the Kenbridge Nickel Deposit have been survey ed with a downhole
TDEM system. Interpretation of the data suggests the mineralization extends to depth below the
deepest intersections drilled to date.
Mark Appleby, President, and CEO of the Company commented “ We’re encouraged by the
current metal prices for nickel and copper. Our drilling at the Kenbridge Nickel Deposit suggests
there are additional tonnes to be added to the current mineral resource estimate. The borehole
TDEM surveys suggest there are higher g rade/conductivity targets at depth and along strike .
Drilling these high value targets in 2022 should along with our 2021 results enhance the
economics of the project. In our upcoming 2022 work program, the Company will continue to
enhance the infrastructure of the project including improving all season access into the property
and upgrading the core processing facilities . Tartisan will be putting in the necessary
enhancements to facilitate year-round work programs. We are moving the Compan y towards
feasibility and recent metals prices are only fueling encouragement”

below the deepest drill hole intersection completed in the 1950’s ( Drill hole K2011 - 4.25% Ni
over 3m) and 125m north of hole KB21-204.

The Company previously released an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of the
Kenbridge Nickel -Copper-Cobalt Project, Atikwa Lake Area, N orthwestern Ontario ( SEDAR
June 1, 2021). The Company is in the process of updating the mineral resource with the recent
results from the 2021 drill campaign . These results will be incorporated in to an updated
Preliminary Economic Assessment considering recent metal price forecasts. The Company is
also planning to begin base line environmental surveys and geochemical kinet ic studies in order
have sufficient data to move towards permitting for an eventual production decision if warranted.
Borehole TDEM surveys will be completed on the Kenbridge North target during the winter
once ground and weather conditions allow and will be combined with a ground TDEM survey
over 2 additional identified targets to the east and west of the Kenbridge North Grid.
